Get yer arses over 'ere

If you're thinking of coming over to experience a true Québeçois winter (and here I must admit I'm guilt tripping everyone who said they'd come to Belfast but never did :-) then now's the time to think seriously: Air Canada are selling off hundreds of seats from London to Montréal for £290 return, including all taxes. Although you can sometimes beat this on the charter airlines during the spring and autumn, this is the best price you'll see on any of the flag carriers. But you'd better be quick: the sale ends on Tuesday October 11, and is limited to travel from November 10 to December 5, 2005, and from January 5 to March 31, 2006.

And for those of you who've said you might come over from the UK next year, here (in order of preference) is who you should check for flights with:

• Canadian Affair / Thomas Cook (business class legroom, around £200 rtn in May from London Gatwick and Manchester)
  
• Zoom
  
• Air Transat
  
• Travel Jungle to check everyone else...
